Running 2017 MLB regular season thread

Remind me, what was the beef with Braun? The urine handling?

I thought Landis got shafted with some of the way the TdF testing went, but Braun's situation seemed to be more of a chain of evidence overnight stay in the fridge.

 

OOP thought it was reasonable to believe he'd been framed. The rest of us acknowledged the break in the chain but pointed out how ridiculous OOP was being. Then OOP went OOP.

 

And I don't think I should have brought this back up by asking the question.

 

I'm sure OOP will let it go quietly.

 

Actually, my point was that steroid accusations are made far too easily and I used the Braun case to make my point. I'll give you credit. At least you don't lie and claim I declared Braun was innocent, which LTL has done.

The flaws in MLB's handling of the matter got list because Braun really did use PEDs and he was a dick in covering it up. That said, MLB allowed confidential details to leak, as it has done many times, and nobody bothers to ask why it keeps happening. Braun was wrong, but so was MLB, but such nuance was beyond most of the board.

To be clear, I've dropped the matter many, many times, but you, LTL and others keep going back to it.

 

You didn't drag it back up. LTL did. He's still mad he can't find a post with me declaring Braun innocent. Of course, he can't because I never posted one.

 

I'm coming around to the idea that Cookie Monster is OOP in disguise.

 

Drug suspensions are bad for a player's RAW value. They hurt his intangibles.

 

Checking to see if that one stuck or ended up as yet another of your steaming piles on the ground?
